I don't foam in fuel tanks either, just a different way of thinking, LOL

A tandem like Destroyer said has a lot better balance, less up and down jerking on the trailer tongue, which makes hauling especially long distance less tiring. Rides smoother usually. Weight is distributed across more springs, hardware, axles, tires etc thus when one of the above goes bad its is usually less of a hazard. Having said all that the right single axle is way better than the wrong tandem.
